topic distribution between homeworks 2, 3, and 4.Only 3 pre-midterm homeworks in 2009.The lack of difference in the homework scores is not entirely surprising. Students often worktogether and always had ample opportunity to receive help during office hours. In addition, thenumber of students is small to determine statistically significant differences.The performance on the exams may be a more accurate reflection of students’ learning (seeTable 4). The midterm exam covered content from the inverted part of the 2011 class. Eachyear the exact questions on the midterm change, but are in general very similar (data from earlierversions of the course from 1997 to 2005 is not shown).

This theoretical framework specificallyrefers to a student’s perception of their ability to change their world through everyday actions aswell as his/her broader goals in life. Critical engineering agency involves an understanding ofengineering and engineering related processes, the skills and modes of inquiry associated withengineering, self-identification as possessing certain degrees of expertise in one or more

Personally, I was able to change my attitudes and beliefs about learning and develop a greater awareness of myself as a student and a teacher. A variety of social skills were developed thanks to the opportunity to work in groups and teams. I believe I developed as well in my motivation to teach and to continue to serve globally and in my own community. • I learned a lot about my teaching style. I’ve never been up
Education, 2013 Use of Process-oriented Approaches in Content-Intensive Courses: Some Insight in Teaching / Learning of Machine DesignIntroduction and Literature:The idea of learning in contexts that promote real-life applications of knowledge extendbackward more than two decades. Resnick's bridging apprenticeships [1] connected theoreticallearning in the classroom to the application of knowledge in the work environment. Also,Collins's idea of situated learning, "learning knowledge and skills in contexts that reflect the waythe knowledge will be useful in real life" [2], addressed knowledge applied in authentic contexts[3]. Process-oriented teaching [4] is aimed at the integrated teaching of learning and thinking, onone hand, and

A simple G02 and G03 command program is required to start the test. The“classic” test calls for the machine tool to perform two consecutive circles; one in a clockwisedirection, the other counter-clockwise. In practice there is an extra arc added before and after thetest circle to allow for the machine accelerating and then slowing down. By using extension barsthe test radius can be selected to reflect the size of the machine and the sensitivity to particularissues (e.g. large radius circles are better at highlighting machine geometry errors, smaller circlesare more sensitive to servo mismatch or lag).

Please provide your insights.”Students commended the interactivity of the systems and their applicability in a remote environment.Also, data visualization in real time was highlighted as an important aspect of virtual laboratories.

Asthe landscape of engineering education continues to evolve, these insights will be instrumental inshaping effective strategies for delivering and assessing engineering management programs inthe digital age.Implications for Engineering Management EducationThe evolution of assessment methods aligns with the dynamic demands of the engineeringmanagement field and the rigorous expectations set forth by ABET. Traditionally rooted inevaluating fundamental engineering skills and knowledge, the assessment process has becomemore comprehensive. The emphasis on broader competencies such as leadership,communication, and teamwork reflect a keen response to the interdisciplinary demands inherentin modern engineering management and by

Project-based learning (PBL) is a part of a pedagogical practice thatinvolves a wide range of engineering requirements methods. However, this learning method hasnot been holistically implemented [2]. To help with this issue, ABET, in its most recent guidanceis pushing for more PBL which research has shown as key and most prevailing attribute amongsuccessful graduate engineers within the industry [1]. The prevalent method for teaching inengineering disciplines is the “Chalk and Talk” approach. The instructor will lecture and thestudent will be a passive learner, not a student centered method [1].

that fails to adequately address current industry needs. Additionally,hands-on training, crucial for understanding the practical implications of securing interconnectedsystems, is often lacking in conventional lecture settings. This deficiency inhibits students fromgaining essential practical skills in identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks within CPS andIoT environments, leaving them unprepared to tackle real-world challenges in the field. As aresult, there is an urgent need for innovative educational strategies that prioritize experientiallearning and reflect the evolving demands of the cybersecurity landscape within EE programs.On the other hand, the cybersecurity industry is grappling with a significant workforce gap, adilemma
